YouTubemusican Husky by the Geek is releasing a 170-person cover of belovedFinal Fantasy 7boss themeOne Winged Angelin preparation forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s release on February 29.
Speaking to TechRadar Gamingabout his experiences with massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG)Final Fantasy14,Husky tells us about his plan to reimagine Sephiroth’s iconic theme song alongside 170 other artists.
Talking about his history of collaborative projects, Husky states that he’s “just finished aOne Winged Angelcover with 170 [people]” that he intends to “publish at the end of February.”
This isn’t the first time that Husky has worked alongside members of theFinal Fantasycommunity to produce impressive covers and medleys.
In response toFinal Fantasy 14composerMasayoshi Soken’s recovery from cancerin 2021, Husky and 39 other musicians arranged a tribute in the form ofWelcome Back Soken, a medley of many of the composer’s iconic tracks.
Since then, Husky has grown more ambitious, attempting a 10th-anniversary medley forFinal Fantasy 14with 200 musicians. “You can imagine my fear to make it work, but I was like ‘OK you already did it, it’s just 10 times more people, you can do it.'”
That said, this enterprising project didn’t come without difficulties. “The biggest challenge was to make room for 50 guitarists and 20 pianists,” says Husky. However, he also reveals that “the choir and instrumental were easier to manage because the singers all had the same parts to sing. [I then] blended the brass, strings, and woodwinds with my orchestral plugins to add more depth.”

The success of the10 Years Medleyled Husky to think about more projects in the future. “I published it and received thousands of overwhelming, positive comments. I was so happy, it was worth it and now I’m doing more!”
In addition to this excitingOne Winged Angelcover, Husky has more projects in the works, too, including “a[Final Fantasy 14]Endwalkermedley with 350 musicians.”
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthlooks very promising and, if ourhands-on previewis anything to go by, it’ll more than deserve Husky’s upcoming tribute.
